Hi,

If you remember the folders name, try the search function of windows.

Search for *.sln if your new version exists, there will be a .sln file.

You can also verify it by checking last modified date of the files. Smile | :)

Strongly named dll

Hi,

I trying to use different Dll's in my project, more specific, strongly named and weakly named combined in the same project. But it seems that VS (C#) wants me to sign all the assembly's in the project with the key, before i can build the project.
Is there a way to combine third party weakly named with our strongly named dll's in one project?

I also tried a tool IlMerge to make a strongly named dll of a third party dll, but for some reason the program didn't want to add an assembly/key to it..

Thx

Kurt

What type of project is this? And when you say that you are trying to use different DLLs in your project do you mean you are adding references to them?

You can mix strongly named assemblies and 'weakly' named assemblies in your project references, we do it here, but there's a requirement for your assemblies to be strongly named if you want to put them in the GAC.

It's a C# windows application using Dll's added by reference, but also dynamically loaded (unmanaged), using reflection. We want to be sure that our project.dll is only used by our project.exe. and vice versa, the other third party dll's are not important.

So no one can replace the exe with his own exe or can replace the dll with his own dll.

For this we made the project.exe strongly named and doing this results in errors on third party Dll's because they are not signed with the key.

i suppose GAC is good for one way check, not both ways ????

Thx

Interesting,

So I guess the assertion is that if you sign an assembly all the assemblies it references must be signed as well. That can't be right??? I'll have to get my Jeffrey Richter book out for that one. Also, you can't use reflection on an unmanaged dll as there is no metadata in traditional DLLs to query. Do you mean interop?

k, thx. ,looking forward to the result.

i guess this article uses reflection on unmanaged dll's ...

or i must have misunderstood the article???
